Notes

Anomaly:

The skill description is missing the number of targets skill fact.

• This skill can hit 3 enemies at a time.
• This skill behaves like a cleave attack, and so it will pass through any obstacle, including walls.
• The skill ticks damage ten times; each being a separate hit. And thus the chance of a critical hit is calculated separately for each, allowing multiple opportunities to trigger on-critical effects.
• The same skill is available by equipping the bundle called Flamethrower.
• The whole sequence takes 2.57 seconds.
